Day 46

Okay, not a late update. Whew.

Picture: What's up?

Background: More philosophy time, hurray!

I remember watching an episode of CSI (Las Vegas) where Catherine and Nick were investigating around a house. Catherine was telling Nick of her first days on the job, where their boss Grissom taught Catherine her first lesson: Look up. It stuck with me a little bit, and every now and then I force myself to look up for a change and see what's on the ceiling. It's funny that there can be so much that you miss by not looking up. This was taken at the Student Center (for those of you who are on campus with me, you can figure out where). So look up more! You'll never know what interesting things you may find. Just be careful outside - birds have damn good aim sometimes.

why 117?

Somewhere around my freshman year in high school, I started seeing this number everywhere I went. I would look at the clock and the time would be either 11:17 or 1:17. I would be customer 117 on a receipt. The date would be 1/17, and I wouldn't realize it until I put it on paper. I found out after the fact that the Halo Spartan is number 117. I even found myself having $117 in my wallet once on pure accident.*

So instead of becoming frustrated at it for much longer, I've dedicated this little portion of the internet to it. Now and again you'll see pictures of the number 117 in various places. I took a picture of $1.17 in change. My dorm room last year was 117 (no joke), so I took a picture of the room indicator. Things like that, you know?

*i don't ever carry around this much money, so don't bother robbing me. I don't think I even have $117 right now, anyway
